uniK 08

Professional Active Reference 8" Studio Monitor

uniK 08 are the result of extensive development work done in Germany, to provide
a professional active reference monitor that defines a new level of quality
in this class. The monitor features a new 8" kevlar low frequency driver and
a custom engineered and powerful high frequency ribbon tweeter with an extraordinary
light membrane. This provides a very clear, strong and precise sound image especially
in the high frequencies. With less moving mass compared to conventional tweeters,
a new level of impulse response with minimized distortion is achieved. In combination
with the optimized mechanical design of the cabinet, uniK 08 provides special
and truly unique sound characteristics that allow this monitor to satisfy the
highest demands in a professional studio environment.

Please note that this product has been replaced with the upgraded uniK
08+ model.
